High Precision Space Astrometry of Cosmic GRBs
Abstract
The problem of low angular resolution of detectors in gamma-ray part of spectrum is the main one in gamma-astronomy now. Impossibility of precise measuring of cosmic GRBs coordinates had stayed their nature unknown for a long time. Last years the step forward was made, and coordinates of several bursts was measured with high accuracy. But the measurement was made for optical afterglow of the burst, so it was only indirect. Low amount of GRBs with measured coordinates and inconveniency of their identification remains the problem of effective method of bursts astrometry opened.
